DAVE HOUGHTON'S 'ED TURNER

This is a fast one, I've nicked it from the Fang's site ( hope you don't mind!)..  the pics are not great and my trawl of the web as not found anything better

Dave Houghton and his mid50's speedtwin based bike.
8.87s 161mph of nitro fuelled speed

reversed head, Shorrocks C75 blower,SU carb minus the float bowl
total loss oil system,Yamaha FS1E front end,Bewley 2 speed gearbox ,years of development all add up to one fast Triumph!

I lied just found this!!

                                            

Dave Houghton is no longer with us and I would just like to dedicate this post to him and his like whose quest for speed was carried out largely anonymously and on largely no budget mostly for the love of it and engendered invention and originality. RIP
